comments: Undoubtedly, Shanghai has became the economy center of China and proactively move ahead to keep this admirable tendency. Besides significant achievements we have gained, we are, however, encountering the western influences that cause us have to change our natural characteristics. Great majority of my foreign friends told me that Chinese are a little bit selfish and focus on too much on themselves rather than help
others. These typical behaviors represent on staying focused on personal recognition, but not giving a hand to those who are in trouble. Definitely, I appeared to be quite disagreeable for their partial prejudice.
After approximately one-month carefully observed, it really happened in our daily life and work. It also send a message to us to avoid destroying the reputation of Shanghai, even China.

comments: Chinese folks protested against Japan due to the rewriting of textbooks without admitting the
atrocities in China during the WWII as I understand the issue. Cause and effect. That is the logical reaction
of homosapiens,indeed!

comments: The Chinese people will always remember the events of the past century. But it is also crucial for China's future vitality to have friendly relations with all countries and maintain a calm and welcoming image to global investors. China has too many economic vulnerabilities and needs all the resources available in the world to ensure the development of a moderately well off society.

comments: i think the websit maybe should include some entertaiment news

Dear Editors,
It is my first time to email you though I have read your newspaper for a long time. I am writting this
letter to ask about one report you published on the last issue in March. It was about an university student
from Shandong province who sacrificed too much in order to help poor students in Guizhou province. I was
really moved when I read it, because I am a poor university student too, I know how many hardship a poor
person should experience before he success and how much courage one should have to give up so many good
opportunities especially the further study, to go to the poor district, where every one eager to escape from.
I have a dream to help poor people too, but I didn’t stop my step going upward. I took the entrance
examination for postgraduate and I successed to enter the Chinese Academy of Science. However, I want to do
some thing I can for them at present. I hope I can join that kind student in some way. Now I’m graduating,
my classmates and I have many things including many good books to be done with. I hope all those things can
be sent to a place that really in need. Besides, if possible, I hope I can do some other things during my
summer vacation.
However, I need to contact with him to get some further information. Would you please give me his contact
way, especially the email address if possible. Thank you from my deep heart and thank you for publishing such
kind of report so that more poor students can be cared about by the society.
Yours truly
Gan Yangying(from Hefei)

comments: American author Alfie Kohn published "Unconditional Parenting,"Atria,$24 He said"My advice is to
make a point of apologizing to your child about something at least twice a month." I wonder if this is
similar to Chinese culture in Shanghai and in China nowadays? Perhaps the culture is the same in the 21st
century but not the same culture when I was educated in Shanghai in 1920s to 1940s. Food for thought for
parents in Shanghai and in China as a point of reference.

comments: is anyone at your newspaper interested in writing a human interest story on joyce bruce,green,nelson. she is the daughter of edgar bruce green who was the harbor master of shanghai and tienstin in the 20's and 30's.she was born in shanghai and lived in the bund. it would be great if someone
could make a video recording of the interior of the bund building and the upstairs living quarters where joyce lived. she would appreciate the sentimental journey. in return i know she would recall something that would interest your readers. shanghai children might enjoy the story of how mr.green had to buy back his eldest son from the man who rescued him from drowning or how shanghai looks when your standing on the ledge up there by the big clock. joyces parents were totally caught up in the high lifestyle of the pre-war years leaving her "home-alone" to her books, dogs and rickshaw in waiting.joyce is in her eighties now so don't
take to long responding to this e-mail. thanks !

2. Shame - Chinese seek unity,not disunity. Shame on us if we do not admit our Chinese ethnicity.
3. Shock - Shocking news for US-China relations as former secretary of state Kissinger envisioned such danger
years ago. Henry Kissinger praised China's patience in his book.

comments: Mistaken Identity: My name is frank shieh but I am not the premier Frank Hsieh of Taiwan. Both of us have the same first name and last name. But he is a politican and I am an American economist of Chinese ancestry. Well,the time-honored tradition is to honor our motherland with our history and culture."Junzibuwangben" in Pin Yin. I demur his nagative rationale toward China(published by Washington
Post,March 25,2005) as an American citizen since 1954 because US policy is ONE CHINA and Taiwan is a part of
China for peace and prosperity in East Asia. Any political disruption in cross strait relations is not in the
best interest of the United States. Mistaken Identity may be recorded in Shanghai star since I am a native of
Shanghai since 1926. This is in the light vein for your readers to note the difference of two Chinese in
ethnicity with positive and negative views toward China.

comments: A`Very Good Jornalistic Job

Our fixed-line phone system is growing to be obsolete,
as the proliferation of high-speed Internet service
has spurred the latest telecommunications phenomenon:
voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), allowing users to
abandon copper wires and make phone calls through the
Internet

Customers dial the phone the same way and continue to
hear a dial-tone and regular ring. But an adapter
converts the analog phone signal into digital
information. It breaks down speech into bits of data
or "packets" that can travel over the digital Internet
network. The data is reassembled into the voice at the
other end of the call.

With most services, VoIP works whether the call goes
to someone using VoIP or the traditional phone system.
Because it is free from the constraints of a local
phone line, users can take their phone service with
them wherever they go, manage and personalize their
phone service the way they do their e-mail or other
computer files, link their e-mail address lists to
their phone book, synchronize information from their
personal digital assistants to their VoIP, and track
calls as they do on wireless phones. Some VoIP
services even allow users to schedule calls into an
electronic calendar and arrange for the phone to ring
at the designated time, so they don't have to remember
to wish a friend "Happy Birthday" or won't miss an
important conference call. VoIP also has "follow me"
features that forward calls to several other numbers -
an office, wireless phone, and hospital room - either
simultaneously or in sequence. It can do this all the
time or in blocks of time and allows users to select
particular phone numbers, so a customer wouldn't miss
a call from her doctor while she runs to the grocery
store. With VoIP, calls and voice mail messages can be
saved as an audio file on the computer, so they can be
recorded on a compact disc or e-mailed to other
people.

Even today, VoIP has its drawbacks. It doesn't work
seamlessly with the emergency system. With an
emergency call from a local land line, the emergency
dispatcher knows immediately the location and phone
number of the caller. Because of the geographic
freedom of VoIP, some services don't transmit the
location of the caller. VoIP callers must tell the
emergency system operator their phone numbers and
locations. VoIP is dependent on electricity and needs
not only the power in the home or office, but also in
the switching stations throughout the networks on
which the call travels - so an outage along the way
can cut service. VoIP subscribers also would lose
service if their broadband connections go down. So
they might need to keep a fixed line open and a phone
that isn't cordless. VoIP hitch is that it adds
traffic on the highway carrying information to a
computer. If a user is surfing the Web and downloading
information, the phone's extra congestion can slow the
Internet flow. In some cases, quality of the phone
call suffers as well.

Charging a flat fee for unlimited calls, VoIP proves
to be of high quality at low price, bringing the most
savings for heavy phone users and those who make
frequent long-distance calls.

Shanghai is becoming home to many VoIP related
businesses. Riding a wave of interest for VoIP
services, they fare well recently, posting strong
gains in both the corporate and home segments. As a
big business opportunity is knocking, Shanghai Necom,
like other new players in China's telecom market,
launched an aggressive rollout of VoIP services to
both residential and business customers in Shanghai,
based on a next generation network (NGN) solution. On
the other hand, for fear of missing out on a
potentially lucrative opportunity, instant messaging
(IM) firms, that have an established presence, try to
integrate the VoIP technology and start offering
packages to existing and new subscribers. For months
after Skype, the Global Internet Telephony Company,
and tom.com, a noted portal, signed the deal, the
subway in Shanghai was plastered with ads for an
international VoIP service that seemed to be selling
already very well without any marketing efforts.
Additionally, Cisco, an IT giant, planned to open a
research and development center in Shanghai that would
focus on developing VoIP technology.

VoIP demonstrates how quickly the Internet is changing
telecommunications and forcing incumbent operators to
reevaluate their businesses and successfully introduce
new services to offset its declining market share in
its core business.

It is hard to resist the temptation of VoIP that
constantly improves. Sooner or later, people will
switch over to it which will eventually replace
regular phones, though that shift remains a few years
away. Future generations will wonder at the days when
people made calls without the Internet!

comments: Washington Post,March 16, 2005 published the statement by Secretary of State Rice that China is playing a significant role for 6-party talk re North Korea's Nuke. Such talk is designed for peace in Asia and should be in the best interests of six nations in the world to seek peace and development and to avoid any conflict in the nuclear age.

I stayed with the fine Yin family while I was there, and they gave me tours throughout your city. Shanghai is a beautiful city. Most cities in the United States cannot compare with the beauty and structures of Shanghai. I hope to visit your wonderful city again sometime soon.

comments: After read Old Days Never Die, I have another viewpoint. Some people go to temples on the mountains
not only for worshipping, but also for exercising. People believe that air on the mountains is more fresh and
healthy, and climbing mountains do help keeping healthy.But I don't think burning insence or worship Budda is
sort of supertition.They just want to express their wishes.But spending money on planting the first joss stick is just stupid or too devout.My fat uncle climbs a temple mountain to carry water with shoulder every day, the first week, he can carry 20kg, the second week, he can carry 30kg, and he becomes much healthier than ever.He also makes some new friends on the way climb mountain.He becomes more happy. The temple managere
open the road for climbers, he uses it to keep healthy, so i think even monks making the society more healthy
when you use it properly. If the government can mix custom and modern health-care measures,people will be well educated.

comments: Japan, I want to tell you…
A recent survey reveals that up to 70 percent of Chinese people, especially the young generation, dislike Japanese .It is not that we have been brought up to dislike them, but that over the years most of us have developed an unshakable faith that Japanese are hostile. We continually wage protest on them, for they invaded our country decades ago without provocation, they do not admit the history of invasion even today, or they declare the sovereignty of Diaoyudao. Reading about them increases our understanding of that country
without dispelling our dissatisfaction. Knowing that Japan is a highly developed country does nothing to prevent us from being filling with discontentment when we reading in the newspaper that they are trying to interfere the question of Taiwan, which is undoubt the internal affairs of our own country. No matter how much we like Japanese product, such as TV, cars, mobiles phones, we have the feeling of being deeply hurt.
Furthermore, they always spread the theory that the development of China is a great threat to the peace of the region and the world. But this is ridiculous. As we all know, China pursues an independent foreign policy of peace and carries out a defensive national defense policy. In addiction, they do not treat us equally as other countries. They never
stop looking down upon us or pouring scorn on us. This is more than we could bear. So, as truly Chinese, I want to tell you, Japan, from the bottom of my heart, we Chinese are not what we were. In the interest of keeping good relationship between our two countries, we are quite tolerant of what you have done. We have the ability, resourcefulness, and confidence to make our country’s reunification a reality. The world will
little note nor long remember what I say here today, but the history will never forget what have done for the
friendship of the two people. I want to tell you, Japan, to maintain a sound and fundamental relationship, we cannot cut off history!
, we cannot fend off truth, we cannot prate future. Let’s be realistic, by going though the dialogue channel and talking openly, we will have a better relation than ever before, which not only does good to the peace in the pacific region, but the whole world as well.

comments: Why are most of your articles full of question marks? Is it that you do not understand the proper use of the symbol or does it have something to do with translation software? Please explain. When I see question marks used incorrectly, it makes me think that the writer has no idea what he is trying to write.

comments: Your story "Chinese girl,American heart is written without sympathy for the He's. First of all the agreement was for the Bakers to take Anna Mae until the He's got back on their feet. The Baker's agreed to that and not to cruelly take a child from their own parents. How would this Baker lady feel if one of her own children was taken away from them. I will never understand the selfishness these people have in their
hearts to take a child away from her own mother, I hope one day they will realize how wrong they are and that they are nobody to pass judgement on a couple and state that they are unfit to be parents. In my opinion, they are the ones that will be judged when their time comes.

comments: I am researching my family tree and have found one of your articles very useful. A man called Joshus Shi wrote an article about China's first railway and it was in your newspaper on 11th April 2000.
My great great great grandfather was called William George Jackson and my mum told me that he drove the first train in China. I have found his obituary and it confirms this story. It also says that the tracks were pulled up afterwards - and Joshua's article confirms this as well! I wonder if your newspaper or Joshua have any more information about this railway and the company that built it.

Kind regards

comments: On reading "There Must Be a Better Way to Learn English",I should say I enjoy this essay and the author's beautiful English. But it's too rash to declare that the exam-oriented high school English Learning futile.
Many people criticize it,but most people experienced it.Have they ever thought how things could be without that experience.There are cases that you benifit from something without your notice. Moreover,not everyone is so lucky as the author to have chance of studying abroad.
There is better way to learn English, but the traditional way is not futile.
